Building a business and contributing to the greater good are compatible. Leaving our world a better place starts with the next project. │ President/CEO and Founder, Public Consulting Group │ Board Member, CARE USA
Last week, PCG’s senior leadership group conducted a week of action-packed and inspiring events in Boston sharing the past fiscal year’s achievements, recognizing staff promotions, and prepping for our new year starting July 1st. We are grateful to observe our 38th consecutive year of growth and profitability. This is no minor feat and a claim few firms can make. Our history of double-digit growth rates and profitability empowers us to provide more state and local agencies with uniquely effective solutions which we have invested in over many years. At Thursday’s session, PCG featured one solution that has elevated the learning potential of hundreds of thousands of children across the U.S. Over the past few decades, many schools have implemented what is known as balanced literacy instruction. Research shows this method to be less effective with most students. Standardized test scores highlight that school-aged children in America test poorly in reading compared to students in many nations around the world. Children who do not develop reading skills are often economically disadvantaged and enter adulthood with looming employability concerns, lower income, poorer health outcomes, and lower self-esteem throughout their lifetimes. PCG designed and implemented customized curriculums for some of the largest, most challenged school districts in the U.S. based on the Science of Reading. This approach helps states, districts, schools, and teachers attack the nation’s literacy crisis by implementing large scale shifts in reading instruction. We have modified the way educators are trained to teach reading and writing skills. In Colorado, over 40,000 teachers and school leaders have participated in professional development based in the neuroscience of reading. Our online course has received exemplary ratings and teachers left the training with structured literacy concepts they could immediately use in their classrooms. Chicago Public Schools, another PCG client, achieved the No. 1 ranking for reading growth from 2019 to 2023 among large U.S. school districts. The city’s African American students led U.S. large school districts in reading improvement. Chicago was the only district where Latino students showed overall reading growth over the same four-year period. In March, we joined state leaders and educators from Colorado Public Schools at SXSW to discuss our partnership's positive outcomes. Watch the video below to learn more about our work together. We are proud to help our clients make meaningful impacts in the fields of education, health care, human services programs and government technology systems. These projects provide us with a sense of purpose and achievement. We are grateful for the confidence our clients place in us and strive to exceed their expectations. Each person at PCG knows the work we do matters. These are wonderful reasons to get up and do our very best, every single day for over 38 years. Here’s to making next year even better!

We believe in the power of apprenticeship. It is an effective—and underutilized—model for creating a stronger workforce. Our team has the experience you need to get an apprenticeship program off the ground. We have experience in all phases of the process. We can help with big picture strategy, compliance, and day-to-day administration. Check out our Apprenticeship Management Services page to learn more!! #apprenticeship #workforce #workforcesolutions #apprenticeshipworks
Registered Apprenticeship Programs in the US must register with either the US Department of Labor's Office of Apprenticeship (OA) or with the State Apprenticeship Agency (SAA) to be recognized, however, the registration process has been identified as significant barrier for apprenticeship sponsors especially in non-traditional occupations. Connect with our team of experts to learn how we can help you design, register, and manage an Apprenticeship Program tailored to meet the needs of your organization.

We believe in the power of stories to connect us and help us make sense of the world. We also know that under the worst, most tragic circumstances, stories help us examine and process what we will never be able to make sense of. Today, Hulu begins streaming “Print it Black,” an award-winning ABC News documentary exploring the critical role of journalism in a community navigating the aftermath of the third-worst school shooting in US—the 2022 Robb Elementary mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The documentary emphasizes the story of Uvalde Leader-News journalist Kimberly Mata-Rubio, who lost her daughter, Alexandria in the tragedy, illuminating the outlet's uniquely challenging position of both covering the tragedy and grieving it as a community. Listening to the perspectives of the education reporters charged to tell these unimaginable stories is our team’s goal as we travel next week to the Education Writers of America (EWA) National Seminar in Las Vegas, NV. There, PCG will join education journalists from across the country prepared to listen to them and learn from them. Stories matter. We hope you will take a moment to watch the trailer for “Print it Black”: https://ow.ly/7lww50RU3Pp
